The West Country Crime Mysteries Books One to Three: Death in the Woods, Death on Dartmoor, and Death on the Coast

Three novels in one volume featuring a police detective dealing with the darker side of Devon, England.

This trio of crime novels starring Dan Hellier includes:

Death in the Woods DI Dan Hellier has returned to Exeter under a cloud. But a chance for redemption comes when the body of a talented young singer is found in the woods. When links are revealed to a recording studio boss, a predatory gang, and a school music teacher, Hellier has to untangle a web of lies, and find out who silenced a singer forever.

Death on Dartmoor When an amateur archaeologist makes an unusual find, she calls the local college. But this discovery—two headless, handless bodies in a bog—doesn’t require a professor but the police. DI Dan Hellier isn’t sure how to identify the victims when nobody has reported them missing. And the tension mounts when the death of a young man plunges Hellier into a murky mystery linked to a local family and an animal-rescue operation…

Death on the Coast A homeless man has been beaten and thrown into a fire on the beach. To make things worse for DCI Dan Hellier, images of the crime are all over social media—and there’s more to come. To find a bitter, brutal killer before he strikes again, Hellier must identify a secretive cult and a story that goes back decades to the time of the Irish Troubles.

Death in the Woods was previously published as Death and Deception, and Death on Dartmoor was previously published as Death and The Good Son, both under the name B.A. Steadman.
